#Datacenters raise nearby temperatures by up to 4 degrees in Phoenix
With hundreds of megawatts of #datacenter capacity operating in many cities, and thousands more proposed, the combined impact on urban temperature could be substantial.
The waste heat produced by a single data center can surpass the amount emitted by 40,000 households. Air-cooled condenser arrays discharge air heated to 14 to 25 degrees F above the surrounding air temperature, creating thermal plumes.

“🚨 #Wrightstown !

Residents are already pushing back against a possible #DataCenter project in their backyard!

People are tired of #BigTech treating #Wisconsin farmland, water, and power like corporate inventory...”

#Tech groups score win on clean energy rules for gas-powered #datacentres
Corporate #climate watchdog drops stricter proposal on net zero claims after heavy #lobbying
The Science Based Targets initiative has decided to drop proposed rules that would have made it harder for a #datacenter group, running mostly on #fossilfuels, to claim its energy needs were entirely met by #renewable power to reach its climate goals.

“Transport endpoint is not connected”

Todo empezó moviendo un cable en el datacenter 😅

#AI #datacenter drained 30M gallons of #water unnoticed — until residents complained about low water pressure — without initially paying for it.
Residents in Fayetteville, Georgia, noticed low water pressure last year. The utility discovered two unaccounted-for water connections at one of the nation’s largest data center campuses.
Officials refuse to fine builders of massive 6.2 million-square-foot facility over unauthorized water use.
